The Haunting of Margam Castle (2020)

The Haunting of Margam Castle (2020)

Dir- Andrew Jones

A group of parapsychologists looking to keep their research grants accepts an invitation to check out Margam Castle in Wales due to its reported ghostly activity. Once there, they find the legends are valid as the ghosts of several murdered residents reveal the true horrors within the castle's walls. Directed by Andrew Jones, The Haunting of Margam Castle offers nothing special except for a cameo by Caroline Munro. The film has a slow pace with too few scares to make it worthwhile. There are some bits of true history involving the UK's Witchfinder General and references to the Necronomicon, but these elements are underutilized in this film. Despite being inspired by true stories of the paranormal, The Haunting of Margam Castle does not stand out as anything more than a dollar store version of The Haunting.
